Perched atop a stone pillar supporting an iron gate, sat a young woman dressed in whites and violets. Tucked beneath her arm was what appeared to be a baton of some sort, polished to a glossy finish and by her side, a thick stack of books. Unfurled in her lap lay an impossibly large map that she seemed completely wrapped up in, scribbling little notes here and there, and scrawling long lines with an excessively gold marker. Every now and then brief noises of contemplation would escape her along with a mumbled phrase as she shook her head--seemingly agreeing or disagreeing with whatever was written on the map.

Finally, with a breath of satisfaction and a flick of blonde hair over one shoulder, Lux looks up from the map.

She really wasn't going to argue with him on this front--there were very few times when she found something 'less exciting' simply because she knew about it beforehand. But Draven did like to skirt death, didn't he?

"I'd like to think most locals are friendly. Unless they live in a desolate area ruled by insufferable twits," like Noxus, she mentally added.

"Anyways," she continued, taking a moment to straighten her hairband. "I really wouldn't consider myself a 'bad girl' for being incredibly stealthy--when you've secrets to pilfer, it pays to know how to hide in plain sight! Besides, it's not like I'll steal any of the knowledge or artifacts, here. They're not my enemies."

Draven grinned, walking backwards as he looked at Lux, hands behind his head. "C'mon now. You're gonna tell me that if you find some precious tome with untold secrets, or some artifact of great value in the magical and mystic or whatever arts you're gonna just leave it? Especially if you can't get yer precious hands on it due to them not allowing you too?" Of course he was teasing, but that was the fun part!

"It sounds like you didn't understand the first time around, Executioner. I wouldn't--as much as you're going to go on a mini-rant about it, I'm a woman of with a particular moral compass garnered from being raised in the most upright city of Runeterra. I know how to ask for things and ask nicely. If I can't get what I ask for?"

Lux shrugged her shoulders and hummed dismissively. "Oh well. Not all secrets are held in tomes or magical rods." She smiled suddenly in the overly cheery, excitable, optimistic manner she was known by her peers for. "If there's a will then there's a way to find what one seeks! It only takes time and effort, and aren't those components in any real adventure, anyways?"

Yeah right, Demacia would do just about anything if they felt they were justified in their cause. Which, ninety-nine percent of the time, they believed they were even if they weren't. But adventure did sounds nice right about now so he decided not to continue that particular banter. If Lux wanted to continue in denial, that was cool with him! It isn't like he doesn't do it himself.

"Sure, I guess! I just thought adventure was what you made of it. Which is why I'm always on an adventure one way or another, haha!" He pointed one of his axes to the horizon. "Off we go then babe, to adventure!"

[rainbow_light]

She pressed her lips together to muffle a laugh. If anything, she could say he was surprisingly cheery.

"Right, off to adventure~" she repeated, albeit in a sing-song voice. "Let's try to keep the 'terrorizing the citizens' portion of this 'adventure' on a minimum, mmkay?"

"Aww man, really? And here I was sharpening my axes... Well, sharpening them more I guess!" He teases with a grin from ear to ear. Everyone knew his blades couldn't get sharper!

With all of that out of the way and with his usual confident glide to his step, Draven got to stepping.FDC, here we come!
